Tnovsa Global Commons hasn't added a story.
The heinous separation of families seeking asylum in the U.S, featured in the news in recent months, has produced a moral crisis. The trauma of close to 3,000 children, ranging from infants to teenagers, snatched out of their parents’ arms, in separations lasting weeks or longer is cruelty played out before our unbelieving eyes. For some children it has not been resolved: as of August 2018 reports, 565 are still separated, with 366 parents already deported.
We also recognize that, although the spotlight has been on this example, Black and Brown immigrant children from many countries have suffered similar experiences.
We recognize that this level of trauma can impair children for a lifetime. We are called on to restore these children and bring them healing. It is the repair of this trauma that the Tnovsa Global Commons Counseling for Separated Children project is focused on.
We are a charitable organization based in Columbia, South Carolina, raising funds to provide these children with the counseling that they desperately need. We will partner with mental health professionals and scholars in counseling and psychiatry/psychology/psychotherapy; with language experts and pediatricians, and with activist organizations on the ground, who are engaged in family reunification/asylum services.
We are asking the public to join with us in this effort by contributing here.
To meet the long-term funding needs of this effort, Tnovsa Global Commons has commissioned a musical work from Ensemble Mik Nawooj, a cutting-edge performance group that successfully crosses barriers of race, ethnicity and musical styles. The work will be composed, arranged, performed, with the song released on the artist's record label. The resulting piece will be offered for sale and download, with proceeds supporting our long-term mental health goals for these traumatized children.
Please stand with us. The news cycle is moving on, and these children are already being forgotten. Let us work together to bind up the wounds, to undo the harm that was done in our name, by our government. There is much suffering in the world, but we can do what is before us. Please make your contribution TODAY.
